While driving ~70 mph on highway on adaptive cruise control, the car suddenly LOST ALL POWER/ACCELERATION, including POWER STEERING and ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. I recalled some were BREAK SYSTEM, ACC, ABCS, CHECK ENGINE, POWER, TPMS...etc. Essentially any warning light Accord has was flashing. The car slowed with no power steering, I managed to parked on the shoulder and turned on hazard light. This is extremely dangerous as the highway traffic was extremely heavy. After I parked, I pressed the ENGINE START/STOP button thinking I needed to "turn it off" but the car already had lost power at that point anyway. After pressing it a couple times, the car restarted and I drove to the dealer with one error message remaining on the dashboard - "Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See you dealer." and the CHECK ENGINE light was on.

Concerned about a knocking/creaking type noise made at stop and low speeds when turning the steering wheel. This seems to be a common issue and Honda hasn't acknowledged the issue publicly. But I'm concerned about letting it go long term if American Honda does not want to provide a rack replacement.

My 7 year old grandson was in the left rear seat and became trapped within the seatbelt, like a noose, cinching tighter and tighter causing extreme abdominal pain and trouble breathing. This occurred when the vehicle was stopped in a parking lot, AFTER THE RELEASE of the belt from the latch. He was in a booster seat with the belt across his lap and chest. To release the clasp from the latch, he had to bend over and twist his torso to his right, reaching way down to where the red relates button is almost buried between the left and center seat sections. Quite hard. At that point, the chest portion of the belt slipped over and behind his head as he was trying and trying to press the red release button. When he released the seat belt from the latch, the belt tightened across his lap and he couldn’t get out. While struggling, the belt kept retracting into the top back of the seat, getting tighter and tighter.. He pushed the booster out from under him, only for the seat belt mechanism to get tighter and tighter. 4 adults struggled, every move made it tighter and tighter. The belt had to be cut to release the child.. We are very concerned about this situation as his breathing and abdominal area was in critical distress. Why wouldn’t the seat belt allow us to pull it out of the retractor at the top left of the seat? We would like Honda to repair this at no cost to us, the car is less than 4 months old.

While driving a 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid with approximately 2300 miles on it at a speed of 40 mph, with nothing above the vehicle and no vehicles within a quarter mile of the vehicle, the sunroof glass exploded over the roof of the car and onto the highway. The sound was like a missile hitting the car. Fortunately the sunroof inner sliding panel was closed and no glass entered the passenger compartment. About a third of the glass went onto the highway and the remaining part shattered on top of the car. Pictures were taken of the car. I contacted Honda and a case was opened. I was instructed to take the vehicle to a Honda Dealer for inspection. The dealer agreed that the explosion was not due to any act of mine or outside cause and the glass was replaced under my warranty. My concern is that the glass totally shattered and though the three passengers in the car were not injured, had the sliding panel under the glass been open, there would have been serious consequences. I believe that Honda should put some sort of impact glass on the sunroof that will not shatter.
